"Think “screen share, but the thing being shared is a robot writing code.”"

Thinks: why not send text instead of graphics, then? I'm sure it's more complicated than that...

Thinks: this video[1] is the processed feed from the Huygens space probe landing on Saturn's moon Titan circa 2005. Relayed through the Cassini probe orbiting Saturn, 880 million miles from the Sun. At a total mission cost of 3.25 billion dollars. This is the sensor data, altitude, speed, spin, ultra violet, and hundreds of photos. (Read the description for what the audio is encoding, it's neat!)

Look at the end of the video, the photometry data count stops at "7996 kbytes received"(!)

> "Turns out, 40Mbps video streams don’t appreciate 200ms+ network latency. Who knew. “Just lower the bitrate,” you say. Great idea. Now it’s 10Mbps of blocky garbage"

Who could do anything useful with 10Mbps. :/

This is a great new "you can land on the moon with 10 MHz".

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. Capture the text somehow and send that, and reconstruct it on the other end; and the best part is you only need to send each new character, not the whole screen, so it should be very small and lightning fast?

Sounds kind of like https://asciinema.org/ (which I've never used, but it seems cool).

Which features terminal live streaming since recently released 3.0 :)
